However, the matter has been heard in the European Court of Justice in 2002, and the short version is "Community law does not preclude compulsory military service being reserved to men."

Yes, there is the common security and defence policy, and the Article 42 of Lisbon and all that, but it all still relies on national systems.

With this study there's plenty of leads to follow. Does the ABV have an impact? What about the base price? France vs Italy?

Also the tax burden will fall on different places depending on the markets and the good in question.

Except one: commit 3d1fdddf9 has Jia Tan as both author and committer but the author timestamp is in +0300 while the commit timestamp is +0800.

Also quick search suggested UTC+3 was seen during the summer, and Russia doesn't do DST either.

Edit: some of the UTC+2/3 times are attributable to being differences in git committer and author dates (e.g. email patches)

There's a soil remediation project near my workplace (former railway depot). They've dug up several meters deep by now.

The magnetic north wanders around, and it now happens to match along the 2° meridian.

But really the article is a year early, as the alignment point should make a brief landfall in Scotland late next year (which the article acknowledges later on). Or perhaps they expect Scotland to secede before that.

It's about 0.43 AU from the comet at its nearest, whereas Earth will be pretty much on the opposite side of the Sun, making observations difficult from here.

Edit: Earth, Mars and Jupiter are in roughly 120 degrees from each other as seen from the Sun, with the Earth-Sun-Jupiter angle closing up fast and the E-S-M angle growing slightly slower. In about two months the E-S-M angle will be 180.

(in support of the above thesis)

Do you have some example words that would show the difference?

It's "ä" and "e" which have swapped uses, but it's not exactly consistent (e.g. "Järnvägstorget" where first ä is close to the Finnish ä, second ä is closer to e but so is the e at the end)

The simulation model assumes we're charging during the 12 cheapest hours, and discharging during the most expensive 12 h, and then calculated the average price differential per day. This is of course suboptimal, since the day-ahead prices are available.

The mean differential in the data is 56.5 €/MWh, and on 64% of the days the differential is over 22.8 €/MWh. 10%, 50% and 90% percentiles are 3, 54 and 119.

So at least during the winter time (when consumption is greatest) you'd expect to hit the price goal more often than not.

Adding the rest of the year up to now drops the mean to 52 €/MWh and the median down to 38 €/MWh. Still pretty good.

(As for cherry-picking the data: this year was easily available and didn't dig too hard for older data, but it was one of the mildest winters in recent years.)

Just yesterday we had 6 hours of negative prices, followed shortly after by one hour at 2.66 c/kWh and four more over 3 c. Friday had swings from 0.4 c to 13 c.

(All prices with VAT included)

And this is in summer when energy consumption is low, the swings will intensify when the heating season starts.

... but also as @elric has said, getting it set up properly is important. The first few weeks it felt restrictive, I complained and the hospital cranked up the initial pressure from 4 units to 6 units, and it's been great ever since.

Another "close enough" value is the binary inch of 25.6 mm. Makes dealing with /32s and /64s oh so much easier.
